"Many of you know that I’m agnostic; I don’t have any clue what happens when you die, but have no reason to think that my consciousness will continue on after death. The only thing that I can think to make me feel a little more at ease with my death is to secure cryopreservation plans on the off-chance that they figure out how to revive people in the future. The way I see it, it’s a better bet than decomposing or getting cremated."

Suozzi went on to explain that she did not have "even close to the finances" she needed for the service -- a figure she quoted at $30,000 - $35,000 when the procedure was performed through the Cryonics Institute.

That same month, Suozzi posted about her predicament on Reddit. She noted that in earlier months, other Redditors had wanted to start a fundraiser to aid her in "doing fun things" before she died. "I am hoping that redditors will still have some interest in helping me even if it's not going towards vacation or skydiving," she wrote. "Cryopreservation is sincerely what will bring me the most peace in death."

The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a nonprofit cryonics organization, also set up a donations page for Suozzi's cryopreservation. This organization quoted the cost as $80,000, though the donation page notes that cost would be "reduced" by Suozzi relocating closer to the Scottsdale, Ariz. facility, which she planned to do once she secured the necessary funds.
